Hi Bcarrasqui,

Welcome to this hp forum. You didn't say much about your system specs but GTX 1650 only takes its power from the motherboard PSI Express x16 (75w_max), you are ok with PSU above 240watt depending on your system. If you want to upgrade to a high-end GPU in the future, you might need to consider upgrading your PSU to 500w and above since the GPU needs external supply from your psu depending on their number of pins. Please look at the attached chart for your future reference. 

Let's know if you have further questions, please.
